How To Compile

Ubuntu 16.04+ and MacOS 10.10+

There is a bash installation script for Ubuntu 16.04+ and MacOS 10.10+ which can be used to checkout and build the project from source:

$ curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/turtlecoin/turtlecoin/master/multi_installer.sh" | bash

On Ubuntu you will be asked for sudo rights to install software. The binaries will be in ./src after compilation is complete.

This script can be used from inside the git repository to build the project from the checked out source, ./multi_installer.sh

See the script for more installation details and please consider extending it for your operating system and distribution!

Windows 10

Prerequisites

• Install Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition
• When installing Visual Studio, it is required that you install Desktop development with C++ and the VC++ v140 toolchain when selecting features. The option to install the v140 toolchain can be found by expanding the "Desktop development with C++" node on the right. You will need this for the project to build correctly.
• Install Boost 1.59.0, ensuring you download the installer for MSVC 14.

Building

• From the start menu, open 'x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for vs2017'.
• cd <your_turtlecoin_directory>
• mkdir build
• cd build
• cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 Win64" .. -DBOOST_ROOT=D:/Boost/boost_1_59_0 (Or your boost installed dir.)
• MSBuild ByteCoin.sln /p:Configuration=Release /m
• If all went well, it will complete successfully, and you will find all your binaries in the '..\build\src\Release' directory.
• Additionally, a .sln file will have been created in the build directory. If you wish to open the project in Visual Studio with this, you can.

Apple

Prerequisites

• Install cmake. See here if you are unable call cmake from the terminal after installing.
• Install the boost libraries. Either compile boost manually or run brew install boost.
• Install XCode and Developer Tools.

Building

• git clone https://github.com/turtlecoin/turtlecoin
• cd turtlecoin
• mkdir build && cd $_
• cmake .. or cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=<path_to_boost_install> .. when building from a specific boost install
• make

The binaries will be in ./src after compilation is complete.
